I have the same problem

eclipse.buildId=I20081030-1917
os.arch=i386
os.name=Linux
os.version=2.6.26-1-openvz-686

Plugin loaded w/o any errors when located in a folder named 'Bug 241162':

*** Plug-in Registry:
Bug_241162 (1.0.0) "Bug_241162 Plug-in" [Starting]
 Configured plug-ins:
  file:/home/mn/Bug 241162/

But after moving the plugin in a folder 'Bug #241162' I have these messages in the error log:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2008-11-28 12:21:00.537
!MESSAGE Bundle reference:file:/home/mn/Bug #241162 not found.

Note that "#" shouldn't be an allowed character in launch configurations due to bug 170213

As I can see the only significant difference after a move project refactoring was applied (plugin's location changed from '/home/mn/Bug 241162' to '/home/mn/Bug #241162') is that osgi.bundles references to the plugin as 'reference:file:/home/mn/Bug #241162' instead of 'reference:file:/home/mn/Bug 241162'. And this prevents plugin Bug_241162 (1.0.0) "Bug_241162 Plug-in" from starting.

Is this one realy a duplicate of #170213 ? https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=170213#c7 says about replacing '#' with 'h' when building configuration location. But I've used a default configuration location and it doesn't contain '#' ('-configuration file:/home/mn/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/New_configuration/')
